The year 5s really persevered to create these photos using perspective. They used their imaginations to alter the colouring and really capitalised on the resources and time that they had.

Autumn 2021: What does BLP look like in action at Red Oaks?

Here are our Year 5s showing great COLLABORATION skills by working together to play Team Tag! They also needed to use their WATCHING and LISTENING skills so that they knew what to do as well as NOTICING where their 'prey' was to catch! Once caught, the children relied on their class mates' EMPATHY and KINDNESS to release them by ducking under their outstretched arms. View the video here

Look at these Year 5s COLLABORATING and MAKING LINKS with previous learning. They're MANAGING DISTRACTIONS too and they’re totally ABSORBED in their work.
